X1D/X2D Cameras / Re: X2D compared to Leica Q3 f...
Last post by pixelpower - May 24, 2024, 05:45:16 AM
I have both systems, although i don't do "street" photography, I have walked around using both for landscape and general outdoor photos. I can tell you based on size and simplicity, the Q3 may be the better choice if you want to do carry around, shoot and go type of work. Plus the Q3 ALWAYS has the right lens on it since it can not be changed. It is smaller, lighter and easier to shoot with 1 hand and generally easier to carry around in my opinion.
Here's a few pics for comparison to my HB and xcd 55 lens.

The lenses / Re: XCD 28P Released
Last post by pflower - May 24, 2024, 05:15:18 AM
In the UK the official DJI Hasselblad store seems to be the place to look.  I saw it listed as being available on May 23rd and ordered on the 16th May and it arrived early morning on the 23rd May.  It is currently listed as being in stock and for delivery on the 25th May if anyone is interested.

The lenses / Re: XCD 28P Released

I really like the photo. The 28p is certainly a very fine lens but I´m courious in which way "the 28P was slightly better in IQ". If I compare the MTF graphs, the 28p is perfectly fine but the 30 is clearly better, so how does the "better in IQ" manifest in your view?

When I export from Phocus as a TIFF all lens, colors and luminosity corrections are done with the highest possible quality level (including masking in layers)

The exported TIFF, is then treated in other software´ for skin cleaning, removing spots or focus stacking, panorama stitching,resolusion pushing,..., format changes for different end uses going from large prints to phone presentations.

Buy and Sell / FS (UK) - Fotodiox Tilt Shift ...
Last post by marcwilson - May 23, 2024, 09:26:12 PM
Morning all,

I'm selling my unused Fotodiox Pro TLT ROKR Lens Adapter - Compatible with Pentax 645 (P645) Mount SLR Lenses to Hasselblad XCD Mount Digital Cameras with Built-In Tilt / Shift Movements.

£225 including shipping here in UK.

I've just received this direct from Fotodiox (to replace a previous one) but it's no longer needed.

I used with the Pentax 645 35mm lens giving a good range of movements on my X1d II.

In original box, packaging etc, tested once to check lens fits and it fits camera.

Within U.K. so no imports fees to pay as you normally would.
New to UK with import fees cost is £350

Any questions please do ask.

X1D/X2D Cameras / Re: Peli Case - Carry On

Quote from: pat m on May 22, 2024, 10:59:50 PMThere's a case for weighing passengers. After all if one weighs 75kg and another weighs in at 85kg then I'd argue to be able to carry 10kg more!  I know, . I think Air New Zealand tried it somewhat unsuccessfully many years ago.

I remember that, it was a great idea but the PC police didn't like it.
Airnz never weigh carryon and if they do weigh it, it is because you got the grumpy lady who just wants to stir trouble. If I'm with someone who's dropping me off I get them to look after my carry on while I check in.
Just don't look like you're struggling to carry it and generally you'll be fine.

Good evening all,

Hasselblad has just responded with the following after I sent them an fff file (which did not appear to display any pixel issue):


'Our R&D team confirmed that the issue do not affect the shooting as you mentioned that there is no pixel dot in the files while you transfer it to the Phocus.And the issue would be fixed in the upcoming firmware in June.We kindly recommend you to wait for the new firmware for this issue.Sorry if any inconvenience this might cause.'

Cheers.

Paul
